If you just break the ram ICs lose with pliers: Snip the gold edge after depopulating. So you don't work a lot of glass fiber pieces into your hand. (Or wear gloves...) And you VASTLY overestimate the Palladium content in MLCCs. Most MLCCs in consumer electronics today have no precious metals at all. If they are magnetic, they are pretty much worthless. Use a magnet and see what's left after that. It is probably just a couple of them.
What about shredding the circuit boards memory cards except the mlcc’s and apply hydrochloric acid w nitric acid to dissolve the gold in the solution or does it make it harder to recover the gold due to the amount of unwanted materials in weight
Help! I've been trying to research the use of Sodium Thiosulphate in gold recovery as a safer way for a gold leaching medium. There very little information out there and it seems it is being treated and marketed as a trade-secret. Do you know how to do it by this method?
I don't know anything about the use of Sodium Thiosulphate, but let me ask: A safer way than what? Nitric acid? Nitric acid is not that dangerous. Of course you shouldn't use it as an inhalation against a congested nose or use it as eye drops. But with little common sense, working with nitric acid is not a big deal. Even if you get some on your skin, it is not as bad as what we see in movies. As a proof, check my tutorial in which my assistant Aspen Angel is purposely pouring some acid on my finger to show that nothing special happens, provided that we don't leave the acid on it for hours: th-cam.com/video/NHBDXtn7pjA/w-d-xo.html
@@BlueMoonshine Thanks for your reply. I meant safer than the old methods of extraction using Cyanide or Mercury for leaching, particularly in ore samples when there are small amounts of gold. I do make my own Nitric acid and I feel safe using it with all the adequate precautions. The only scary moment I had was during production I had a runaway towards the end of the process and the overpressure popped all my glass joints and filled my workshop with superheated steam!
@@BlueMoonshine It happens at the end of the distillation process when almost all of the remaining contents of the flask has been converted to Potassium bisulfate.
@@WanBrit Are you making too much at a time? I don't put more that 400g of potassium nitrate and 228 mL of sulfuric acid (93%) in a 1L flask, and I stop when the temperature goes above 130°C.
there should be a warning, that this should not be done with old electronics or even some recent ones that are not EU compliant, because lead, Pb, was widely used until EU restricted its use in electrical equipment ... I am not certain about this, the author of the video would know better...
Thanks
You're welcome, please share the video.
Can’t wait for part 2
I'm working on it, it may take 2 or 3 weeks. If you subscribed, you'll should receive a notification when the video is available. Thanks for watching!
Here is part 2: th-cam.com/video/NMzDeBDQUHc/w-d-xo.html
There will be more.
❤❤❤❤❤
I use a hammer drill . Using only the hammer mode only with a chipping blade. Inside a bucket so I don't lose to much and then I sort.

I haven't tried that, but I think that would make it harder to end up with pure gold.
Still the one French guy that I like

A runaway? How do you make your nitric acid? I never had such a problem with the method I use.
